no, I'm gonna call Friday to see if there's any news. on Wednesday they were missing some minor info, so just wanna make sure there's nothing else since they don't seem to reach out quickly when they need something... and I'd have never known if I didn't call.

That's pretty frustrating, but I'm glad you found that out rather early! Hopefully you'll have some news soon

no, it just lets you print or save it, it doesn't validate the information

hmm... the online instructions say that all the identity document copies should be signed too, even on the in-person instructions, I wonder if this has anything to do with your delay. cause in-person is supposed to be done faster in 10 business days with status in 5 business days. has your guarantor or others been contacted? sorry, I thought you were mail in all this time because this forum is mail in applications.

No there was no delay due to this , if this was case they simply call back and ask for missing documents or verification.
for in-person they take copy from the original document and stamp that in front you (which says original documents has been verified)
they did copy my DL,HC and my kids Birth certificates and stampd all those documents.
I visited the office 3 times and no one ask for guarantor signature on any document copy.
Hope this help.

Hello to all! I've submitted online form to get an appointment for in-person application submission, however, I've got a confirmaion# right away mentioning that I'll be contacted within 2 business days but unfortunately 3 business days have been passed but I did not get any call yet! Multiples submission of the same inquiry has been discouraged, therefore, can anyone tell me what to do now? TIA
